The best time to sell is when a person is ready to buy. And when people are ready to buy, they turn to their newspaper. Not their mailbox. Too many times, advertising mail comes at exactly the wrong time, mixed among your important daily mail. Perhaps that explains why three times as many people would prefer to receive their advertising information from a paper. Newspaper readers share a common curiosity about people, places, facts, figures. And prices. People turn to their newspaper for the latest price information, and they turn there with interest.
